What is the best brand of portable hard drives?

bball

I want to get a portable hard drive(more than 500 GB) so that I can store all of my music. Could you tell me the best brand and which hard drive you like the most. I would like a 2 TB but will compromise for a 1 TB if its good.

Answer
western digital . I have had very good luck with it without losing any data while it was under warranty.

Best cheap, portable Hard drive.?

What is the best portable HDD out there? It needs to be under $100 and in between 120-160GB.

Thanks

Answer
Check NewEgg.Com - I get all my HDD's there. They have great prices and fast shipping.

Things to look at:
1) What type of interface is it? If it's only USB it will be cheaper, but FireWire will be a lot faster and better for running video off the external.
2) What's the drive speed? If you only need it for backup a 5200 RPM should be fine. If you intend to stream video or run programs off the drive you'll want a 7200 RPM
3) What's the brand? You don't need to buy the best of the best, but the really cheap ones are cheap for a reason. Avoid brands that you've never heard of or that you can't find on other sites. Names like Seagate, Western Digital, Maxor, ect are fine.

Here's a Western Digital 160GB My Passport for $75.99

Or a Seagate FreeAgent Go 250GB for $77.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148340

And a LaCie Design 320GB for $79.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822154245

All those are pretty good but they are all 5200 RPM and USB only. That won't be a problem unless you need the high-speed access.

This one isn't "portable" but it's really small: it's a Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1TB for $99.99 - that's a ton of space!!

Lastly, here's all of NewEgg's externals for $100 and under:

Happy shopping!
